Mark 9
1 And He said to them, “I tell you assuredly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God present with power.”
AND he said unto them, I tell you of a certainty, that there are some standing here who shall not taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God come with power.
2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John and led them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. Then He was transfigured in front of them;
And six days after Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, only, and carrieth them up with him into an exceeding high mountain in great privacy; and was transfigured before them.
3 His clothing became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth is able to whiten.
His garments became glistering, exceeding white, like snow; such as no fuller upon earth can whiten.
4 And Elijah appeared to them, along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus.
And there appeared to him Elias with Moses: and they were conversing with Jesus.
5 Well Peter reacted by saying to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three shelters: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
Then Peter addressing him, said unto him, Master, it is desirable for us to be here: and let us erect three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 (Because they were terrified, he didn't know what to say.)
For he knew not what he should say: for they were very much affrighted.
7 With that a cloud was covering them and a Voice came out of the cloud: “This is my Son, the beloved. Listen to Him!”
And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 And then, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
And instantly looking round, they saw no man any longer with them, but Jesus only.
9 Now as they were coming down from the mountain, He ordered them not to recount to any one the things they had seen until the Son of the Man had risen from the dead.
And as they were coming down from the mountain, he strictly charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till after the Son of man should have arisen from the dead.
10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the ‘rising from the dead’ meant.
And they caught at that word, considering among themselves what this rising from the dead could mean.
11 And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes, that Elias must come first?
12 So in answer He said to them: “Elijah indeed does come first, and restores all things; also how it is written concerning the Son of the Man that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt.
Then he answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things; and how speaks the scripture of the Son of man? That he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt.
13 Still, I say to you that ‘Elijah’ has also come, and they did to him as they wished, as it is written about him.”
But I say unto you, that Elias is come, and they have done to him whatsoever they chose, as it is written of him.
14 Upon coming to the disciples, He saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great crowd around them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 Well as soon as the crowd saw Him they were excited and ran to greet Him.
And immediately all the multitude, when they beheld him, were struck with amazement, and coming to him, saluted him.
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”
And he asked the scribes, What are ye disputing about among yourselves?
17 In answer a man in the crowd said: “Teacher, I brought you my son, who has a mute spirit.
And one of the people addressing him, said, Master, I have brought my son to thee, who hath a dumb spirit;
18 And wherever it seizes him it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. Indeed, I spoke to your disciples, that they might cast it out, but they could not.”
and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were unable.
19 But He answered him by saying: “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you, how long shall I put up with you? Bring him to me!”
Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.
20 So they brought him to Him. Upon seeing Him the spirit convulsed him, and falling to the ground he started wallowing, foaming at the mouth.
And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21 Then He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said: “From childhood.
And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy.
22 Really, it has often thrown him both into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us.
23 Jesus said to him, “It's ‘if you can believe’; all things are possible to the one who believes.”
Then said Jesus unto him, This is the point: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
And immediately the father of the child said with tears, I believe, Lord! help my unbelief!
25 When Jesus saw that the crowd was running up, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I am commanding you, get out of him and never enter him again!”
Then Jesus, seeing that the multitude were running up to him, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more.
26 Then it yelled, convulsed him violently, and came out. Well he looked to be dead; so much so that many said, “He's dead.”
And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stayed on his feet.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose.
28 Well upon His entering a house His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn't we cast it out?”
And when he was come into the house, the disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?
29 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except prayer and fasting.”
And he said to them, this kind can be driven out by nothing but prayer and fasting.
30 Having gone out from there they were passing through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know;
And going from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not have any person know it.
31 because He was teaching His disciples and saying to them, “The Son of the Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and once killed he will rise on the third day.”
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him: and after being killed, the third day he shall rise again.
32 But they were not understanding this information, yet were afraid to ask Him.
But they understood not the meaning of that declaration, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Then He came to Capernaum; and once in the house He asked them, “What were you debating among yourselves on the road?”
And he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was the subject of your dispute among yourselves on the road?
34 But they kept silent, because on the road they had debated among themselves who was greater.
But they held their peace. For they had been disputing with each other on the road, which was the greatest.
35 So He sat down, called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
And when he was seated, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desires to be the first, let him be last of all, and servant of all.
36 Then He took a child and stood him in their midst, and embracing him said to them,
And taking a little boy, he set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,
37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives not only me, but the One who sent me.”
Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me merely, but him that sent me.
38 So John answered Him saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, one who doesn't follow us; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow us.”
Then John addressed him, saying, Master, we saw a person in thy name casting out devils, who followeth us not: and we forbad him, because he did not follow us.
39 But Jesus said: “Do not forbid him, because no one who works a miracle in my name can soon afterward speak evil of me.
Then said Jesus, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall perform a miracle in my name, who will be able presently after to speak evil of me.
40 For he who is not against you is for you.
For he that is not against us, is for us.
41 Further, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, I tell you with certainty, he will by no means lose his reward.
For whosoever shall give you even a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to the Messiah, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
42 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe into me to fall, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
And whosoever shall give occasion of offence to one of these little ones who believe in me, it were desirable for him rather that a milestone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea.
43 Further, if your hand is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life maimed than having both hands to go away into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire— (Geenna g1067)
And if thy hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it were better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having both hands to go into hell, into the fire that never will be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
44 where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if your foot is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life lame than having both feet to be thrown into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire— (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life halting, than having both feet to be cast into hell, into the fire which never can be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
46 where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if your eye is causing you to fall, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than having both eyes to be thrown into the Gehenna of fire— (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell: (Geenna g1067)
48 where ‘the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 “Further, everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be sprinkled with salt.
50 Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Salt is good: but if the salt become insipid, with what will you season it? have salt in yourselves, and live in peace with each other.
